Lady Gaga knew the perfect thing to tell the crowd after experiencing some technical difficulties during her headlining Coachella set.
While performing for her second weekend headlining the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, CA on Friday, April 18, Gaga’s microphone glitched during her song, “Abracadabra.” The malfunction happened during the second song of her set, which can be seen in video shared on social media.
Before she moved to a different part of the Coachella stage, the singer obtained a regular handheld microphone to use, throwing the headset microphone she had on to the wayside to make sure her fans could hear.
Like a true professional, Lady Gaga continues by holding the mic in one hand and a cane in her other, continuing the performance without missing a single step. Not long after, she came back onstage equipped with a new headset piece to finish her set with.
Gaga addressed the issue later during the show while sitting before a piano, joking, “I’m sorry my mic was broken for a second. At least you know I sing live…I guess all we can do is our best, and I’m certainly giving you my best tonight.”
The “Bad Romance” singer performed an almost two-hour show at Coachella during the event’s first weekend on Friday, April 11. Her headlining slot marked Gaga’s return to the popular music festival for the first time since she stepped in for Beyoncé last minute in 2017, when the singer had to pull out because she was pregnant with twins.
The beloved star’s Coachella set featured various songs from across her iconic career, including older songs such as “Judas” and “Poker Face,” as well as new hits from her latest album, Mayhem, including “Disease” and “How Bad Do U Want Me?”
Weekend two of Coachella is currently taking place from April 18 to April 20. Other headliners this weekend include Green Day, Post Malone, and Travis Scott. More performances that will take place include Missy Elliott, Charli xcx, Megan Thee Stallion, Benson Boone, BLACKPINK’s Lisa and Jennie, each performing solo, Ed Sheeran, FKA twigs, T-Pain, Tyla, Weezer, Zedd, Jimmy Eat World, The Marías and more.
